Ed Cash, spoke about the process of recording the album and the main aim of the record, saying:
The recordings on this album use cutting edge techniques scientifically proven to help heal parts of the brain damaged by all kinds of emotional trauma-like anxiety, depression, abuse, divorce and grief-by engaging both sides of the brain through the gentle panning of peaceful soundscapes known as bilateral music. As you listen, breathe slow and deep and enjoy the healing, peaceful effects of these powerful biblical truths proclaimed over your life. [4]
